Cynthia--I'm not sure what to say. I'm very excited that we were finally heard. I think it a sneaky way to do it too...but I like it. That way you get an honest viewing of how many issues we do have to discuss. Anyway, I'm glad the decision has been made...I have so many questions!!

Ok, now a post for myself...hope it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

We will have a tentative c/b date of 2/8/04 (I still have to schedule it). Dh have discussed it and if our baby has not made an appearance by 41 weeks I will have a repeat. I talked to the ob and she said that they love vbac moms. However, she wanted me to be aware that if I am visibly in labor for more than 8 hours and I have stalled out in pregression that they will siggest a repeat. Dh and I discussed it and we believe that if my body stalls out we will agree to a repeat but it will probably be in less than 8 hours.

They prefer repeat moms to not have a trial of labor but they will allow me to.

We are much happier here because at any point in labor or before I can change my mind and jsut have the repeat. I did not have this option at the birthing cener or with the midwives. Well, I did but then my care would be immediately turned over to an ob, whom I have never met.

I'm too soooo happy that a C/S forum has been granted. I would like to
thank you for being patient in your wait. There have been several threads asking about a c/s subforum and I have done my best in asking to just wait and see what progresses with Peggy's decision.

I must say that I am disappointed in some of the recent posts made here.
This thread was supposed to be a c/s support thread; not what it turned out to be. Though you were not aware of Peggy's pending decision, you were aware that it was still being considered (via other threads). In the future, please ask and discuss such personal issues through the PM system. This forum is owned by Mothering magazine and deserves the respect it gives it's members and subscribers.
